M$1.00
Why (or How) can my Mahalo balance be off by $0.25? Where did my quarter go?
I noticed today that the total amount of tips earned is $628.25 according to my profile and my balance also ends in $.25 so that seems accurate.
However, tip received says I have earned $587.50.
Now, I understand how these two numbers will differ in whole dollars (because it does not factor in direct questions) but it should not be off by fractions of a dollar because you must put whole dollar amounts on direct questions.
However, the only way to earn quarters was by answering and getting best answer on questions Mahalo placed the amount on.
You have to cash out whole amounts (I believe).
You can't put a $0.25 on a question.
When I counted how many $.25 questions I won, I got 46. That would put the amount at 11.50. So, what I'm wondering is where did my quarter go?
Did Travis Tritt take it?

What's your best theory?

Here is your answer: In your tip section
The following questions are tipped twice
Do Betta Fish change colors?
Who has a photo of Freida Pinto at the Oscars 2009?
Virgina Madsen Academy Awards Dress - who has a photo?
So .75 dollars is added in the tip section
Hope it helps

You're right. I hadn't noticed that and have reported it to Mahalo.
1) you miscounted
2) Mahalo messed up (it happens!)
Mahalo has cheated me of a few bucks too-they removed a question of mine and did not give me the 2 bucks back (although they said they would).
Oh welllll...

Ask her if she knows where my lid went. ;o)
Someone tipped your reply (not your answer) to a question. So it wouldn't show up in tips received from best answers.

This is just a guess... but I swear that's what happened to me.

Did one of the Mahalo funded questions that you won decrease in value?
I've noticed that not all questions stay at M$1 when they're funded by Mahalo. I think that @jasoncalacanis may have commented on this when he announced that the M$1 funding would continue through until April.
I hope that you get this figured out, Darcy and that it's not part of a larger issue.

I'm not sure Darcy, and I don't know if the community can answer this one for you, could you please send an email to contact@mahalo.com with details so the accounting department can look into your account and find out what went wrong.
